heartfelt & One World-One Heart Giveaway!



Here's what happened. I found a vintage wool coat
that was beyond redemption. So I felted it, intending
to do who-knows-what with it. Then I saw the bin of
needle felting supplies on top of the dryer. Cut out
hearts from coat. Needle felted a heart. Needle
felted another heart. And another . . . let's just
say, I pretty much have my Valentines made!

The hearts are actually brooches; sat for 2 hours
last night at the local community college, waiting
for 15-yr-old son to finish fencing, sewing and
sewing the little pin backs. It was very satisfactory,
to have a pile of finished fuzzy hearts. They're even
warm fuzzy hearts, since they're felt. ;)

That post was yesterday: today I found THIS:

One World-One Heart Giveaway!

So now you (if you're here, and not Suzy, because she
asked first and gets one anyway) can have a heart, too!

Sure, it's kind of late in the game, but you know you
want one . . .
You don't have to have a blog, but be sure to leave me
some way to contact you. You can even tell me your
choice of color combinations, and I'll make one just
for you.

(Now, won't it be funny if no one wants one??!!)

Well, apparently someone wants one, so
I'll be giving away 5, that's right, FIVE. 5. :)

::snort:: Warm fuzzy. I like your sense of humor :-)

The brooches are sweet - what a clever way to recycle, and you're ready for random (or not) gift-giving, too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment - It's amazing how many people signed up for the Apron Swap; I don't know that I'll actually get to everybody's blogs, but I'll sure be giving it a try!

suzzcq70 said...

what a great way to recycle and to create something pretty at the same time!

sandee said...

This is a great idea! However, I just moved across country and have most of my stuff in storage. What I would like to do, is go into as many of the blogs as I can and sign in. If my name gets pulled by anyone as a winner, I will donate $100 to AIDS Foundation in memory of my brother. If my name gets selected more than once, I will up the ante an additional $10 every time it gets pulled (greedy I know, but one can dream!!!) If my name is not pulled by anyone, I will still make a $50 donation. This way, everyone is a winner.

I hope to get my name drawn at least once.
